In this episode, we examine major structural shifts in the supply chain, starting with how Wagner Logistics has acquired the contract logistics business of Dawson Logistics to expand its national footprint and industrial capabilities. We also discuss Amazon Air Cargo's new money-back guarantee, a move that offers refunds of up to $10,000 for service failures as the retailer commercializes its internal network.
The conversation turns to the southern border, where Uber Freight predicts a freight rebound driven by nearshoring and Mexico's growing role as a top trading partner. We also analyze the political momentum behind the proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern rail merger, which has recently gained bipartisan support from lawmakers in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Finally, we highlight the financial risks of operational negligence, focusing on a $44.1 million nuclear verdict against New Prime stemming from a fatal crash involving a driver with inadequate winter training. This is contrasted with industry-wide reliability, as major parcel carriers achieved a 98% on-time delivery rate during the early holiday peak season.
